Bill, Rich, Sue and family, so sorry to hear about Bill. Dad and I are so thankful that we saw Bill last summer when he was his old self and clowning around as usual, who would of thought it would have been our last get together. AL wants to attend the viewing but with this weather, I don't know if I want to risk him and his walker going out.
You and Bill are in our prayers, may he rest in peace, God Bless the family.

Dear Billy, Frank, Dick, Susie and Joey,
We are so sadden to hear the news of your father's passing.
He was such a great neighbor to my dad especially and all of Stratton. He was such a talented man. His drawings were amazing. I still have the one he drew of my dad at age 65 making his First Communion!
Our deepest sympathy to all.

It was so special to have spent Thanksgiving with the Vierling Family. Mr. Vierling had us rolling on the floor with laughter when he was telling his jokes and tales of his time spent in the WWII. He touched our lives in a special way; these memories of him will be greatly cherished. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
